Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats provided another hysterical photo for this week’s poetry challenge.
If I was the mom of these two, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to try to clean them up. My poem is a conversation between the little blonde girl and the mom in alternating stanzas. The child is speaking first.
Child’s Play/Mom’s Dismay
Mommy, look I’m an artist!
I’ve decorated my little sis.
I think she looks so beautiful.
Oh no, that ink is unremovable!
What could you have been thinking?
I swear I might start drinking.
What’s wrong, don’t you like my art?
I’m out of ink so I can’t restart!
Do you have another marker I can use?
I’m going to be accused of child abuse
If you don’t go to your room this minute.
I swear you’ve pushed me to my limit!
I don’t understand why you’re mad.
I tried super hard not to be bad.
You told me not to draw on the walls.
So, why didn’t you go play with your dolls
And leave your sister alone to sleep?
I swear I’m going to breakdown and weep!

Thankful Thursday
Kitties Blue and I look forward to sharing our thankfuls with you each week. Gratitude is such an important part of living a happy life.
I am thankful for the opportunity to have gotten outside twice since last week to work on weeding my flower beds. Of course, I have lots more to do, but I have made progress and am enjoying seeing the daffodils, hyacinth, muscari and tulips coming up and blooming. Today, I even saw some hostas starting to put up shoots. And my peony plants are already a foot tall.
Kitties Blue and I are always thankful for your support, comments and friendship.
Thanks for joining us today. We look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
